Latvian production detective, released in 1977 and created by the famous Baltic director Alois Brench and his regular partner, Latvian writer-detective Andris Kohlbergs.
This time, the famous duo tells us a story about an ordinary locomotive driver Arnold Peterson, to whom someone unknown regularly transfers large sums to a savings book. On the one hand, it is strange and dangerous, on the other hand, the driver is divorced and lives with two children, so there will never be extra money. It all looks somewhat ridiculous, but let’s leave the logic of the actions of the heroes on the conscience of the authors of the plot.
In this case, we have a classic story about theft, machinations and valiant work of employees of the OBHSU, called to stand on the protection of socialist property.
As befits the picture of this genre, it will not only acquaint the viewer with the investigation of the case, but also please the eye with the city streets of Klaipeda, a large number of parks and gardens and an abundance of railway stations, sorting stations and other railway topics, the good that the detective we have production.
In parallel with the detective story, Peterson’s difficult family life unfolds on the screen. She divorced her wife, who met and fell in love with another man. They have two children who live with their father and love him more. At the same time, the father cannot give them proper attention and the children are too often left to themselves.
The finale of the picture will please significantly faster development of the plot, a couple of unexpected plot twists and, of course, a car chase after a truck with stolen goods. In general, the entire professional set of Soviet detectives will be fully represented on the screen.
